Chapter 368: New Look

The waters off Tuvalu produce little or no polluted seawater, and the Wei Minsheng desalination platform, which consumes very little additional energy, produces freshwater, coarse salt and highly concentrated brine.

Fresh water is naturally piped into the island's reservoirs, which provides the daily needs of the inhabitants of both islands and provides a plausible explanation of the source of the fresh water.

Of course, pure distilled water is not suitable for human consumption for a long time, so a part of the distilled water is reprocessed, mineralized by some essential minerals for the human body, and sold as bottled mineral water to increase its commercial value.

Distilled water, which has not been mineralized, and river water from other worlds, which has only been simply precipitated, is provided to the islanders as domestic water.

The islanders of Nurakita Island are happy to use the "cheap" tap water for $10 a ton after paying for the installation of the water pipes.

In this way, they have to thank Mr. Long for his generosity, because such quality fresh water and low prices are not available even in Funafuti, the capital of Tuvalu.

And those high-concentration brine, whether it is the extraction of potassium or magnesium, is of little value for the current Wei Minsheng industrial utilization.

Because a large amount of plant ash in the other world is high-quality organic potassium fertilizer, and magnesium is of little value to the current development stage of the other world.

Therefore, Wei Minsheng looked at the bitter brine, which originally had a lot of industrial value, but reluctantly chose to give up because he did not have the corresponding processing equipment.

Those by-products of coarse salt are naturally collected centrally, and then sent to another world for purification and processing into refined salt.

For places where there is no iodine deficiency, consuming too much iodized salt may cause thyroid-related diseases, so consuming this non-iodized refined salt at almost no cost is the most appropriate choice.

Even in places where there is a lack of iodine, you can choose to regularly eat foods with high iodine content such as kelp to prevent neck disease, and there is no need to supplement all iodine regardless of the actual situation.

What's even more bizarre is that at the beginning, iodized salt was expensive, but after the popularization of iodized salt, non-iodized salt in some places was more expensive, and China's monopoly enterprises and deformed markets perfectly interpreted the true meaning of "scarce is expensive".

Of course, it is impossible for such an unreasonable thing to happen under the system of the Huaxia State, and more and more formal members, under the influence of their own interests, will never allow such a thing to happen.

A large amount of non-iodized refined salt and its abundant income have given birth to a large number of supporting jobs in Huaxia.

Due to the unique way of providing meals in the Huaxia state, there is generally no need for ordinary families to fire alone, because the meals provided by the state are much better than firing themselves in terms of taste and choice.

As a result, large quantities of refined non-iodized salt were exchanged for large quantities of medicinal herbs, gold and silver from other countries, which were then cashed in through wholesale stores and jewelry stores operated by Minsheng Company.

The proceeds from the realization were exchanged for various materials and sent to the other world to support various constructions in Huaxia.

After solving the problem of construction funds and material supply, the era of Yunmengze's large-scale development has quietly come.

The large-scale development of Yunmengze is like a black hole, attracting people from all over the country to flock to it.

In just one year, the population gathered in Yunmengze has reached nearly 500,000 people who have registered basic information in Huaxia alone.

There are also a large number of people who have to participate in the lowest-paid temporary jobs that are privately issued by individuals because the Ministry of State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration cannot keep up with the speed of registration of basic population information.

Although the Ministry of State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration has expanded the staff and equipment of the information registration department, it is a headache for hundreds of thousands of illiterate aborigines who have never had relevant experience to figure out what words to use in their names, let alone their own dates of birth.

Wei Minsheng even designed a perpetual calendar query software to help those who only knew their own Shenggeng eight characters to determine the date system of Huaxia.

Although there are still many problems in the registration process, due to the deterrence of the miracle of burning Yun Mengze, no one has dared to challenge the rules of Huaxia Kingdom.

In addition to those teenagers who worked hard to learn the knowledge of Huaxia Kingdom in Gangneung City, a large number of cheap human resources turned the entire Yunmengze into a huge construction site.

In order to solve the problem of the source of reinforced concrete in the construction of the new city, the real-world Minsheng Company acquired a small cement plant and procured a large amount of steel to "export" to Tuvalu.

Of course, this export channel is just a front, but on the surface there is nothing wrong at all.

Because the buyer was Tomani on the island of Nurakita in Tuvalu, the purpose of the purchase was to build a seawall for the island.

Most of this dam is below the surface of the water, and the scale is a bit large, so it is normal to use a large amount of reinforced concrete.

After enjoying the export tax rebate policy, the cost price of these reinforced cement exported by Minsheng Company is also much less.

Moreover, after transporting the reinforced concrete to the high seas through a cargo ship leased by Minsheng Company, the crew was arranged to rest in a nearby place and drive the ship back to port the next day.

During this period, all the supplies were transferred to Gangneung Castle in another world, and the explanation to the crew was that these supplies had been transferred through other ships, so the freight was much less.

With sufficient materials and human resources, the underground part of Yunmeng New City has been completed.

Although it was the first time to build such a building, there were some detours due to lack of experience, but at the same time, a large number of professional architects were trained.

Of course, this profession cannot be compared to the real world, but these people who have mastered a certain skill will be like a seed to spread the experience they have gained to those who work together.

In order to meet the construction needs of the new city, Wei Minsheng purchased two sets of steel structure housing production lines through Minsheng Company, one for familiarizing himself with the production process in the real world, and the other for "scientific research" in another world.

Some low-tech components are produced by themselves, and those that cannot be produced temporarily by themselves are purchased or customized by other enterprises.

An industrial production base in the true sense of the word has finally been built in another world.

There is no cost of land purchase, no approval by management departments at all levels, and no high wage expenditure that is not in line with production efficiency.

Therefore, the construction and operation cost of the same production line is more than half less than in the real world.

According to Wei Minsheng's design calculations, at least 3,600 housing units can be built in each area of the new city, which can accommodate more than 10,000 people.

When the eight areas of the new city are completed, it will be able to provide more than 100,000 people in total.
